KISSANE'S LUCK.
Judge Sawyer Sustains the Lower Court

Judge Sawyer Sustains the Lower Court
aud the Case Is Dropped.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 4.-By a rul-
ing of Judge Sawyer, of the United States
Circuit Court, to-day, the case against
William Kissane, which achieved such
wide notoriety owing to the career of Kis-
sane at the East, was practically ruled ont
of court under the statute of limitation.
Judge Sawyer sustained the demurrer in
terposed by kissane to the suit commenced
by the Chemical National Bank of New
York, which, in effect, dismissed this
other suit or any others that NAV be COM
menced against Kissane, known in Califor-
MIA as William X. Rogers.
The progress of the venture of the bank
has been closely watched. Judgment was
asked for $4, $40 and interest at per cent
from August 80, 1854, amounting to about
$4,000 The officers of the bank claimed
to have lost that sum through a swindle
conducted by Kissane, Lyman Cole aud
Andrew Finley The wanderings of
Rodgers in Nicaragua were set forth and
the bank asked that Rodgers be restrained
from setting up the statute of limitations
to prevent the progress of the suit
Judge Sawyer, in rendering his decision,
reviewed the circumstances of the case and
in few words announced that the bill of
demurrer was sustained. The complaint he
deemed insufficient and stale and no rea-
sonable cause existed for granting the re-
straining order. He said that after being
discharged Kissane was not at all liable to
suit until the operation of the statue of
limitation. The bank neglected to COM
mence an action. The plea of the plaintiff
to the effect that the statutes should not
apply because Kissane's whereabouts were
unknown was disregarded. Judge Sawyer
said that even if Kissane did disguise him
self and assume an alias it did not disbar
him from having the tull benefit of the
statute.

so to crafty her, but to my utter astonish-
ment had not finished the first bottle before
